Custer in '76
Walter Camp's Notes on the Custer Fight
Edited by Kenneth Hammer
Muster Rolls of 7th U.S. Cavalry, June 25, 1876
Editor's note: Rosters of the 7th Cavalry have been published repeatedly in specialized books on the Little Bighorn River fight. Probably no two rosters have been identical. Walter Camp developed his rosters from his interviews and included some of the recruits who joined the regiment after June 1876 and were known as the "Custer Avengers." kh1992

Editor's note: The list of those in the Custer battle who received the Medal of Honor award is significant in the number of awards for a single fight. Perhaps no other engagement in American history resulted in a greater number of Medals of Honor. The criteria for award in the Indian wars period, of course, were much less stringent than the criteria used since World War I. kh1992
